In the pile of documents from the time in Norway, Qais Ghaneem has a receipt showing that he sent a letter from Norway Post on 25.03.2012. The authorities, for their part, say they have never seen the medical certificate. However, in the internal note from the Police Immigration Unit (PU) dated May 2012, it states that the police were aware of Mithel Ghaneem's health situation and had a doctor in hand because of this:
«Report writer got orientering by reception manager Erna Ledland about Mithel Ghanim's pregnancy before the coordination work. … Rogaland (police district editor's note) was informed about the health situation, and during a briefing by Leif Rune Salte at Rogaland police district who was to assist PU, it was asked to have a doctor in the back. "
Resigned from interview. After several refusals, PU agreed to submit to a video interview, with the proviso that they would not answer questions about why the family had to dress naked on Trandum's immigration internat. They would answer this question in writing or orally after the camera was turned off. The day before the interview, however, the counter-message came – they wanted to withdraw from the interview.
The result was that PU via communication advisor Tuva Otterlei Blikom answered questions via email.
What reviews did PU make before the transfer of Mithel Ghaneem and the family?
"We had not received information that indicated that the mother of the family could not be arrested and dispatched. We schedule the broadcast as we plan other broadcasts. "
The family is critical to the way in which the transport took place. How would you describe the transport yourself?
“All cases involving families and children are difficult, and we always pay special attention to such cases. During arrest, we always make sure that both male and female employees are present, and that those who are to be sent out will have plenty of time to pack and call the family in the home country before departure. In connection with the arrest of this family, we also had a police officer who spoke Arabic. There is nothing to indicate that our routines are broken in this particular case. "
The family says they sent a medical certificate in the mail, and believe that, on the basis of it, they should not have been sent out at that time. What do you say to that?
"We had not received such a medical statement prior to the arrest, and questioned that we never got it. A specific assessment is made in each case based on the information available. In this case, we had been in contact with the reception where the family lived, to gather information. We were aware that she was pregnant, but not that there were complications in connection with pregnancy. We have no instructions saying that pregnant women cannot be sent out. ”The family says a doctor at Trandum believed Mithel had to rest for at least a week due to the abortion. They further say that the police then brought in a new doctor who examined the first doctor?
“The medical service related to the immigration board is independent, and we do not have access to patient information. We refer to the medical certificates available ».
Followed the routines. According to Ny Tid's experience, a doctor worked at the medical center who was responsible for Trandum, where both the nationality and the doctor's name agree with what the Ghaneem family has told Ny Tid. This doctor has not responded to Ny Tid's inquiries. Solli clinic has replied in writing that they do not know the details of the case because the doctor who was responsible for Trandum no longer works there. What do you think the fetus died after the police arrested Mithel Ghaneem?
"We understand that losing a fetus is a stress for the family. But PU has, as I said, obtained information and followed all routines prior to the arrest. ”
The family says they are critical of the police's procedure after the abortion, when police came to arrest the family for the second time. They say that Mithel Ghaneem was lying in a nightgown and in poor condition in a police car for over 40 minutes.
“In all arrests, we try to give the person or family plenty of time to pack and arrange practical things. In this case, the family was not cooperative, and mother was physically degenerate. Separating the mother from the rest of the family for a short time was therefore necessary. The rest of the family stayed in the apartment and packed while mom waited in one of the cars. "
Dressed naked due to security. The family says that they had to dress naked when they came into Trandum, and thinks this was unnecessary and degrading. Why did they have to dress naked?
"Due to the safety of everyone who stays at the immigration boarding school, all adult inmates must undergo a security check. Due to previous fires at the boarding school, PU is particularly concerned that lighters and matches should not find their way in. Therefore, the inmates must dress naked when they arrive, "answers Tuva Otterlei Blikom, communications consultant at PU via email. As far as Ny Tid is aware, the police have changed the routines at Trandum, and stopped dressing all adults who are going in naked.
